oh and get this, EU/Uk also have private healthcare if patients see wait times are too long, USA only, through propaganda only see this as black and white, they dont think you can have universal/low pay, free healthcare and private healthcare at the same time. dental care is different though, it mostly out of pocket for most people.
Yup. I’ve only ever needed this to see a psychiatrist about my ADHD personally. It’s expensive (still much cheaper than the US), but you get an appointment in a week or 2.
And the drugs they prescribe are still covered by the national healthcare system so once the treatment plan is in place, you visit the expensive doctor once or twice a year and get prescription refills through your GP (no need for a visit and the visit is free anyway), doesn’t end up costing too much in the long run.
